While playing the epicness that is TERA : Online, in the darkest dungeons to the most colorful forest there is war.

War against mobs, war against other players and war against guilds. Combat and politics rule the world of TERA so ProEliteGamer.com found the guild with the strongest potential to join and sponsor. After a long search (and a failed attempt at creating our own guild) we came across Titernia and of all the guilds we ran with they are the best and here is why.

The Guild Master:

Too many GM’s today are power drunk and obsessed with keeping order within their ranks, they are usually lacking personality and dream only of increasing their power within the server; they remind us of the villains we are striving to defeat in the games we are playing. However the guild master of Titernia, Hestia, can easily keep order within her guild while still having fun and allowing others to have fun (which is rare in a video game, we know) She can lay down the law when she needs to but more often she acts as the glue of the guild, making sure members are playing together, chatting in Ventrilo, enjoying themselves, helping each other and all those cool things guild leaders should be doing.

Member count:

At first when scouting around in the guilds we thought "bigger is better” so we started our search with the 150+ member guilds, we quickly discovered that more often than not these guilds just mass recruit, accept anyone then forget about that member. This leads to the feeling when in these guilds that you are less part of a guild and more part of a chat room, sure the guild chat is always active but these players are rarely playing together even when the guild menu shows large numbers of players of similar level in your area. Although it was cool to roll into town and see a lot of "green names” other than that we might as well have just been going solo. Titernia on the other hand does not mass recruit using area chat like so many others. They recruit using 1 thread on the forum which if interested will lead you to an application page which if passed leads to an interview after accepted you are a trial member to see how you gel with the other members. When I joined I was the 64th member, which is about half the size of the "big” guilds however since I’ve joined I’ve always had members around OFFERING to help me with BAM’s, world bosses, quests and even protection in high GvG areas.

Action:

Titernia guild leader is NOT a cuddly care bear cry baby. She wants blood and for her members to be enjoying every aspect of TERA : Online from scheduled events to constant GvG battles. Some are organized all out wars while other guilds chosen at random which then surrender to the PvP power that is Titernia.

Many guilds we joined in our search boasted PvP focus however rarely took part in GvG (guild vs guild) battles if ever. Titernia on the other hand is ALWAYS wrapped up in at least 3. The guild leader of Titernia has even been heard saying she wished we could fight more than 3 at a time. Titernia is a GvG powerhouse for several reasons.

1) The application >interview > trial period means the guild is not full of "fluff” members. Everyone who joined knows there will be war and is willing to be part of it. In fact we fucking love it! This same filtration system means Titernia doesn’t have 100 lowbies or alts running around getting jumped by enemy guilds. Each member of titernia is aware that other guilds will want to kill them, luckily they are usually in Ventrilo so by the time a Titernia member gets jumped he/she already has several TEAMS of high level members on their way to kill the target and protect the lower level member incase enemy reinforcements arrive.

2) Communication. While we tested other guilds we would call out in Ventrilo or via guild chat "War Target” and the most response we ever received was 1 member asking where is was, which ended up being too far out of his way to bother going.

Titernia strongly focuses on communication and being on Ventrilo as often as possible. This obviously works great for GvG. A lower level member spots an enemy guild member in their area they call out ” X amount of war targets, level X in X area on channel X”  All the level 55-60s begin to salivate and head for that zone ready to kill and earn points in Titernias name.

There is so much more we could say to boost Titernia’s ego but we will summarize and get back to playing sweet, sweet TERA in the guild we now call home.

After searching through countless guilds, large and small, we finally decided to join Titernia not only for their number of high level members, scheduled events, constant GvG action and established website. We joined Titernia because they had that family feeling that everyone hopes to find when joining a guild.

ProEliteGamer.com sponsored Titernia because of the absolute potential this guild has at becoming a respected and feared name within the PvP community of TERA as well as its strong focus on endgame politics.

If you are looking for a guild to apply for we strongly recommend checking out Titernia at www.titerniazk.com.

The family feel mixed with having the backup of some of the games strongest members will keep you with Titernia for the rest of your TERA Experience.

Disclaimer: We did not try EVERY guild out there and all our searching was done on the Jagged Coast PvP server.
